Description 

The route starts on the north-facing side of a large squarish block on the left side of the Sphinx formation. Scramble up boulders to access the base. An easy layback/flake leads to continuous steep smears past six bolts to the summit. The excellent rock and moves make this a classic Josh friction route.


Protection 

6 bolts provide excellent protection. 2 bolt anchor on top; rap off 70 feet to ground.

Originally done with five bolts; the FA party later decided to add the topmost bolt.
